The severity of the diabetic nephropathy is proportional to proteinuria rate and degree of renal interstitial fibrosis. Despite many treatments available today, diabetic nephropathy is responsible for a quarter of cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring the use of renal replacement therapy or kidney transplantation. It develops as follows: chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes abyss renal glomeruli that allow proteins in the urine room. In response, the tubular epithelium produces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) that attracts monocytes circulating in the renal interstitium. Monocytes then differentiate into M1 or M2 macrophages. M1 macrophages increased MCP-1 production while M2 macrophages produce transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) pro-fibrogenic. Renal fibrosis is negatively correlated with the glomerular filtration rate itself proportional to the number of nephrons. The decrease in the number of nephrons majorises secondarily proteinuria by the onset of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions. Production of MCP-1 increases with the renal proteinuria because M1 macrophages earning kidneys reinforce the production of MCP-1, and fibrosis worsens because M2 macrophages infiltrate in turn kidneys and produce TGF -β.
